Dear D Today’s Tory tale goes about the agelessness of how our wonderful race condemns people who speak or act, on what the majority thinks and believes but does not dare to say. Where the ones in power, walk the moral high ground with no horizon in view, huddled up in a safe crowd of…
By abuis, used or abused
Dear D, Today I am writing to you about a very serious and nasty matter, namely the situation between (apparently) the people of Palestine and Israel. I will sketch a brief scene to get you into the loop (hole). As you know Jesus Christ is said to be born there and his history is told…
Contrast, contradiction and contradistinction…
Dear D, Today I was reading about a master forger of paintings, an old naughty gentleman who was reliving (and revelling) his dodgy years with its secrets…in technics to make a newly painted piece look like the real Caravaggio, Vermeer or Lowry! To my astonishment, he used bee goo to crack the painting to look…
Road to Redemption or Walk of Shame
Dear D Today I wanted to explore the debris of human (read male) hubris. Starting with the story of the sphinx, the wonder exposed still and sober watching the fauna of founders. If there is any conscience left in her, I bet she will sigh with a smirk. As the reason for her faith is…
Languish with leverage to bequest a legacy
Dear D Scanning with a telescope the horizon for my comfort zone is not my daily ordeal but painfully aware most of humanity is…it is like included in the list of capital sins. I will explain myself, wherever you look or listen, there will be advice on how to better yourself in any imaginable way….
The power of acceptance
Dear D, So the novelty of having entered the second half of the century, mine that is, feels now official and is giving me plenty to ponder. Last Tuesday marked 51 cycles ago I came into this realm, though it wasn’t the date that marked because after all, it is a calendar, made up and…
Accident or incident
Dear D Today I am reminiscing about how words start living a life of their own. Take accident, Latin and Greek roots both agree on the meaning but then the medieval French butt in and makes the expression accidents happen a silly thing to say. I mean… happenings happen? So just guessing that retired and…
Exit or Expire
Dear D In this life, all is but a cycle, in which we grow in body and mind. Into society or not if one is all but blind. Navigating to take part in a play designed with values so opposite as day and night. Probably because when puzzle pieces are fitting to ensure a means…
Empower and overpower
Dear D Since forever people have spoken about, informed me and complained over my face being an open book. My thoughts, feelings and opinions laid out naked for anyone and body, always without mean intentions. Except for the moment I intend to let my face speak before my fist, but that is a whole other…
Invision the visionair
Dear D, So me writing to you is just one form of popular attention you are receiving. In your adoptive city of preference, Naples they have decided to turn your written voyage into a rap. Done by maybe the most charismatic rapper they have, certainly the most gifted as he has a healthy dose of…
